'Coutinho does nothing away from home' - Barcelona flop slammed by Capello

Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho has been slammed by former Real Madrid boss Fabio Capello for his performance in the Blaugrana's shock Champions League defeat to Liverpool.

Heading into Tuesday's second leg at Anfield 3-0 up, the Spanish champions were powerless to stop Jurgen Klopp's side as they ran out 4-0 winners on the night to book their place in the European showpiece in Madrid on June 1.

The match marked the first time Coutinho had returned to Merseyside since leaving the Reds for Camp Nou in January 2018, but he struggled to make an impact on the game and was replaced after 60 minutes by Nelson Semedo.
